Rid your bathroom of harmful ingredients:
The products in your bathroom are more harmful than you think according to current research. Lurking in those containers in your bathroom, could be a cocktail of harmful ingredients. Australian Janet Forester in her book ‘How To Build a Chemical Free House’ says we use a high level of chemicals.
According to Dr Samuel Epstein, author of the book ‘Unreasonable Risk’ these ingredients are Coal Tar (D C, FD C colour), Mineral Oil, Talc, Aluminium, Fluoride, Propylene Glycol and Sodium Laurel/Laureth Sulphate.
The problem however is not just skin deep. Many toxins in common products can be readily absorbed through the skin and stored in and damage body organs.
